Christmas in July??? No, it’s Goth-uly… or something like that! Join us as we celebrate the premiere of the horror film BEGINNING OF THE END with cast members: RON KEEL, KAITLYN JAYNNE, & MELODY PORTNOY!!! Yep, a follow-up from last year’s chat with Writer / Producer / Director Terry R. Wickham about his terrifying film. This is a first for us as we interview: The Metal Cowboy, a Playmate, and mem...

Remember, people: there’s no easy way out, but you’re the best. There’s no stopping you. You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power. Oh yeah, it’s time once again for some of that amazingly inspirational AOR montage music! Be all you can be, feel the burn, and bring it! This episode is rooted in all 3 categories of lost, forgotten, and should have beens. These bands all provide fist-pumpingly perf...

The boys are tired of all of this drama with our neighbors in the Great White North! So, they decided to fix it the only way they know how… With tariff busting riffage that will have everyone screaming: Oh, Canada!!! To present this cornucopia of uniquely Canadian bands we needed an expert. Welcome the voice of Winnipeg to your earholes; from the SeanGeek & FastFret Podcast: Mr. Sean McGinity! Whi...

This week, we get songs and stories from the road from the one and only bassist extraordinaire: Mr. Billy Sheehan! We had the opportunity to chat with the icon about his adventurous musical journeys, cats, and deviled ham! Kevin was on the verge of imploding as this conversation completed his goal to have a chat with his holy bass trinity of Geddy, Squire, and Sheehan! Come discover more about som...

This week we celebrate bands that can re-imagine their songs with acoustic instruments and still rock! We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Electric artists have been playing acoustically since the beginning of recorded music. Most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument and capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood has a vulnerable, human feel to it. ...

This week, we lace up our Doc Martins and hike over to the Pacific Northwest to the home of GRUNGE! We discuss bands outside the usual suspects of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam. Your hosts fondly remember this time, as we were young adults when the Seattle scene invaded all US rock n’ roll avenues. In retrospect, this sounds like less of a movement and more of a melting pot...

This week we travel back in time to just after the dawn of PUNK ROCK (1978-1981)! We discuss bands influenced by the 1st wave who then took punk into various sub-genres. If you don’t think Punk is for you based on secondhand information, we ask that you listen with an open mind and prepare to get out some aggression. This episode features songs with the shortest track length that we’ve ever played...

This week, we decided to change history by launching into the stratosphere just like Katy Perry and that lady Oprah loves! A new discovery at the pyramids of Giza sends us on a 7-song mission straight to Jupiter. This is another episode guaranteed to be a trippy journey through time and space with our favorite astronauts, Cosmokrauts, and Galactic Jacks! We’re talking about space rock people of pl...

This is part 2 of our interviews with more of Nashville’s best new bands. Since the town is called “Music City”, you can expect these bands to have amazing talent and great songwriting prowess....

This week continues our experience at the Nashville Rock N Pod Expo 2025! Much like Hollywood in the 80s and Seattle in the 90s, Nashville has become the new rock n’ roll capital in recent years. This is part 1 of our interviews with some of Nashville’s best new bands. Being that the town is called “Music City”, you can expect these bands to have amazing talent and great songwriting prowess. Hopef...

This week is our full account of our experience at the Nashville Rock N Pod Expo 2025! Once again, we played a little game at the Rock N Pod Expo with the brightest podcasters and artists.

It’s an open-book test, so you can’t lose! What...

This week, we received our annual audit visit from corporate! That’s right, The Chairman not only graced us with his presence, but he demanded we deliver to you this episode: “Grave Mistake:  BÖC Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. One could argue that selling 24M albums would negate “Shoulda Been Huge” treatment. However, when most folks can only name 3 songs by this band, and one of them is due to an SNL ski...

This week is the seventh volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of smoke, and join your favorite rock n’ roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy...

According to Mighty K, this week is all about the Aqua-crotch! That’s right??? We are again diving hair-first into the world of obscure glam metal. Whether you call it: glam metal, hair metal, cock rock, hard rock… this time we are focusing on bands carrying the torch of the 80s by fully embracing the Sunset Strip sound and vision in current times! Hope you dig. What are we all about here at InObs...

Meet Captain Content & Kevin in the pit again this week for a tooth-losing, hella good time! We’re getting our aggressions out by revisiting the starting point of it all for Kevin. The thrash, crossover, speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n’ punk n’ metal. Once again, we will not be covering the Big 4 of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, but if you love the...

This week, another milestone episode in our journey that is the InObscuria Podcast. We are also preparing for another visit to the Rock n Pod Expo in Nashville, TN, USA on April 12. This made your humble hosts ponder our future, and a decision was made to slightly tweak our mantra. To explore and expand the soundscape of obscure music beyond where we’ve gone before. Therefore, we call this episode...

In celebration of Women’s Appreciation Month, we bring you the 7th installment of our series championing the gender with the most attitude and pure ferocity. Piss off a man; you can fight it out and then go have a pint at the pub. Piss off a woman, and you will pay for it 10-fold. In this episode we focus on women that truly rock; including several that will be attending this year’s Rock n Pod Exp...

This week, breathe in another breath of that freshly regurgitated air! We are exorcising some demons again and testifying to the New Wave Of Classic Rock! This is a 5 shots of bourbon episode, so feel free to play along at home. Listen in as we pour it on with classic, blues-influenced hard rock that reminds us of the days when FM radio rocked! Indeed, rock n’ roll is not dead and is in the very c...

This week, we start a new series all about appreciating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n’ roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique sets of pipes that set them apart from all the others. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory! What’s this InObscu...

This week a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare obscure bands to a mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but more about artists with similar vibes, sharing a sonic landscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band that is near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band whose unique harmonies and awesome riffs inspired...

This week is all about bands playing other bands' songs… In fact, we’re going to listen to songs that many different artists have covered; compare them, and then ask, “Who did it better???”. In this episode, we showcase the diversity of how a band can take a hit that you’ve heard a million times and put their own spin on it. Who do you think did it best? What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podca...

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week’s episode honoring the passing of a guitar hero giant who also happened to be an awesome singer and songwriter: John Sykes. He was a guitarist deserving of the title guitar god who rarely got mentioned in the same circles as the Satches, Vais, Rhodes, and Van Halens. Most known for his brief stint in Thin Lizzy at the end of their career and as a b...

This week we continue our journey to the Great White North! This is the triumphant finale of our celebration of an amazing power trio from Toronto that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n’ roll: TRIUMPH! From classic hard rock & metal to proggy AOR, this is a band that rarely gets the praise they deserve!  This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band tha...
